March in Central Florida is jam-packed with fantastic events for the whole family to enjoy. Here are a few highlights:

Sarah McLachlan Live

For the music lovers in your family, enjoy an intimate concert performance with singer/songwriter and Grammy Award-winner Sarah McLachlan. See Sarah McLachlan featuring Vanessa Freebairn-Smith for An Intimate Evening of Songs and Storytelling at the Dr. Phillips Center in downtown Orlando. Friday, March 1.

Arnold Palmer Invitational

A big draw to Central Florida is the world-class golfing. One of the crown jewels of the PGA Tour, the Arnold Palmer Invitational, is an annual event here. Regular players include the greats: Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Fred Couples, Tim Herron and Tiger Woods. Proceeds benefit the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women&Babies so you are not only watching the masters of the game play but you are doing your charity work as well. March 4 – 10.

Cirque Du Soleil Luzia

This touring show takes you to an imaginary Mexico where light (luz) quenches the spirit and rain (lluvia) soothes the soul. With a series of beautiful visual surprises and stunning acrobatic performances, LUZIA cleverly highlights multiple places, faces and sounds of Mexico that are both traditional and modern. The performance is at the Florida Mall, so you can combine it with a day of excellent shopping and dining. March 7 – April 21.

Lionel Richie: All The Hits Tour

Hello? Is it me you’re looking for? Yes, yes it is. Superstar Lionel Richie, whose music is part of the fabric of pop and R&B, is coming to town!

Florida Strawberry Festival

Tastes as good as it sounds! Located less than an hour’s drive from your luxury vacation villa in Plant City, the family can indulge in the sweetest, ripest, reddest strawberries on earth!

Then, head over to the main stage and watch headliners such as Willie Nelson, Kool & the Gang, Martina McBride and Styx, just to name a famous few! This delicious festival starts in February and runs through March 10. Small admission charge. Totally worth the drive.
